Listees, It's been so long now that I can't remember when it was that Greg started us down the road to this list, and I think it's already abundantly clear that we all really appreciate it. But for the past few years, Greg has been too busy to beg for the funds to pay for the list and the web site. Instead, he has simply paid all the bills out of his own pocket. I realize that this really didn't amount to very much each month, but after a couple of years it all adds up to something we should try to fix. A few days ago I asked Greg if he would mind letting someone else manage the money side of the list/web site. I didn't want to deprive Greg of something that he wanted to hold on to himself, but his response was enthusiastic. He would be HAPPY to let someone else deal with this. To this end, I have asked Keith Park if he would accept this responsibility. I felt that Keith was someone that most of us knew and that everyone trusted. His job will be to collect a kitty and make sure it stays in the black, and to send money to Greg periodically as his expenses accrue. He'll need to let us know periodically how things stand and how our money has been spent. I hope all of us will contribute to this kitty, but I expect contributions to remain strictly voluntary. I'll point out that Keith can probably accept PayPal contributions, too, so that means that even our non-US listees can contribute with minimum difficulty. I hope that Greg can come up with an estimate of what his out-of-pocket expenses have been over the past few years, so that we can make some effort to reimburse him for those. But, for now, I'll just let Keith start the fund drive and let you know where to send your hard earned cash. thanks, -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
